Trick or Treat
[OVERVIEW]
Gourgeist-L attempts to distinguish itself from Gourgeist-XL and Gourgeist-S by outspeeding the former and being slightly stronger and bulkier than the latter. Unfortunately, the extra bulk and Attack it gives up over Gourgeist-XL is not worth the opportunity cost, as the targets it outspeeds are not important enough. As an attacker, Gourgeist-S outspeeds many foes that Gourgeist-L cannot, which makes the latter completely outclassed on all fronts.

[SET COMMENTS]
Gourgeist-L attempts to distinguish itself from its superior formes by compressing Gourgeist-XL's power and Gourgeist-S's Speed, though it succeeds in neither. The strengths of Gourgeist-XL's great bulk and Gourgeist-S's high Speed make them far superior to any capabilities Gourgeist-L can do.
